Elephant Management in South Africa
Posted April 25th, 2008 by brandon
Perhaps some of you have recently heard about the dilemma facing elephant management in South Africa, particularly the burgeoning population in Kruger National Park, and the proposal to reinstate elephant culling as a measure to control populations. If you are interested in this debate, and want to learn more, I wanted to let you know that we recently completed a 'Scientific Assessment of South African Elephant Management' which was submitted to the Minister of Environmental Affairs & Tourism in December 2007.

It's been an interesting (and warm) few weeks at Melbourne University on a research exchange at the Australian Centre for Science, Innovation and Society (ACSIS). Here is a picture of the staff from ACSIS at their Christmas lunch enjoying a beer and the summer sun. Yes, it's a little different downunder at Christmas time!? |
Distributed Energy - A Global Review
Posted December 6th, 2007 by kesI am conducting research on Distributed Energy (DE) as part of my ENVERA exchange at Melbourne University in Australia. DE is commonly understood as small and medium scale technologies that generate electricity (and possibly heat). The term is often used to describe energy generated by units that are close to the location of use (but they can also feed into the grid). Examples include solar hot water heaters or wind turbines.
Distributed Energy in Australia
Posted November 21st, 2007 by kesI have arrived in Australia after more than 24 hours of flying from Copenhagen, with a stopover in Singapore, then to Melbourne. It's certainly a long trip, but the summer weather is worth it!
I will be working at ACSIS at Melbourne University developing a project with a large energy company, called Origin Energy who are well-known in this part of the world.
